a111: Logged on 2017-12-14 22:49 mircea_popescu: phf so basically this is cropping down nicely after all. proper vpatch (fixing mod6 's bane, the empty dir thing) + proper vdiff (hash-based preprocessing of rename/move + proper use of @@...@@ + keccak hashing).
a111: Logged on 2017-12-14 22:51 phf: hmm, there's a bit of complexity there as far as producing files/directories shuffle, which might take longer, but i'll start with paring things down. i haven't yet seen diff/patch sources closely!

RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu 2 translator candidates are entering chan shortly and will be on standby here all weekend. One other is coming later. They have been ready - delay was on my end. Their nicks are iangeker, Yan, and Kev - all are on China time, so getting late now. None are GPG'd or anything yet.
BingoBoingo: In other delights: here they have some sort of children's cookie which is notable for not being especialy sweet aside from the white chocolate chips. Back in old country these treats would not be marketable as health food.
deedbot: Kev voiced for 30 minutes.
Kev: Hey guy, just new to this thing, still trying to figure it out
BingoBoingo: Keep coming back, it works when you work it.
RagnarDanneskjol: Kev - Mircea is here if you'd like to talk to him about the translation work and tell him a bit about yourself
Kev: Well, this is Kevin who from China Shenzhen which beside HongKong
BingoBoingo: Kev: Is your chinese language primarily Mandarin or Cantonese?
mircea_popescu: you can't have two primaries. what did your mother speak ?
Kev: actually Mandarin Cantonese both are similar, for me kind like the difference between American English and British English

Kev: But I speak with my parents with Mandarin, and school mate or friend more by Cantonese
mircea_popescu: Kev ok, so you're a guy, living in shenzen (where ?), and you'd like to work for the republic.
mircea_popescu: where did you go to school, how old are you and what's your employment history ?
Kev: shenzhen is just above HongKong
mircea_popescu: Kev ok, that will do. thank you for your time, there's no intertest at this time.
Kev: I did my School in China before Uni, and take my degree in Singapore
mircea_popescu: in case anyone's curious, the 20 bux was for encouraging the folk who made viking age, which is a quite passible browser game. sorta old warcraft style graphically, othertwise a tower defense married to the old bonbon "city development" azn thing.
☟︎ shinohai: gm mircea_popescu, feliz Viernes!
mircea_popescu: thanks god you said anything lmao, i'd have totally forgotten tis fri today o.O
trinque: I'll be having wisdom teeth sawed out in a bit. Will be available for botops much later, when various sedatives wear off.
shinohai: lol. My support crosses Eulora boundaries! xD
BingoBoingo: In other discoveries... My venezualan spanish teacher is a dentist by training.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, one actually got A CAVITY. years ago. dentist dutifully put a tiny obturation on it and that's been all.
mircea_popescu: took like 5 passes to make one small enough, also. "i've never done this before".
mod6: <+trinque> I'll be having wisdom teeth sawed out in a bit. Will be available for botops much later, when various sedatives wear off. << gl!
shinohai: I guarantee you won't go home hungry.
shinohai: Next time you are in town and they have those .... what do you call fela markets there, ferias? Ask for "Un caldo de pollon muy rico" BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: I just have to say, bless Venezuala's economy for making my humiliation sessions so affordable.
BingoBoingo: Turns out self study and hardware store spanish was insufficient to offer a tremendous fluencey on arrival, so venezualan girl has been retained to speed up the fluency acquisition process.
shinohai: In 6 months BingoBoingo you won't even realize you are conversing fluently.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Tutor mentioned earlier. The dentist by training.
shinohai: I can think of no more useful assistant to have in a 3rd-world country. Those 3 am impacted wisdom teeth are no joke.
shinohai: Actually, lots of SA is looking more "First world" (from my ideal, anyways) than the US lately. The trailer-park culture creep is real here.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how this "retirement vehicle" thing became popular (i could guess) ; but it's evident.
BingoBoingo: Retirement vehicle is a different kind of poverty than trailer park. Trailer park trailer is not mobile denotes still greater poverty.
shinohai: Trailer park trailers can't drive away when you make sulfur gas clouds feed into the ventilation system either! :D
BingoBoingo: Most common use of retirement vehicle I remember from old country is where the fail kids live in their Baby boomer parent's yards.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In my part of old country retirement vehicle is typically malformed bus. Trailer park trailer is the shipping container shanty.
shinohai: Rolling RV meth labs are a close second.
BingoBoingo: Eh, the pop bottle method shrank many of the mobile ones to shitty gm go karts producing for personal use
shinohai: I never understood that, the pop bottle thing. Mexican meth is like super cheap, all but the poorest of poorfags could get some even.
BingoBoingo: Well, consider that some of them may have failed out of being able to maintain even positive enough to buy relations with their suppliers.
mircea_popescu: "economic unpriviledged status" is always a personal failure.
mircea_popescu: dude's too annoying to have any friends -> 0 opportunities.
shinohai: "Hey Vern, go out to the barn and get the GC-MS ... these here dimethacrylates look like they got contaminated by that there RC-cola bottle.
BingoBoingo: In other three years later drama. The Bitcoin bowl has been replaced by... "The Bitcoin Arena" home to some Danish hockey team.

robbinhood: I'm here to talk about the translator position
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 16:18 mircea_popescu: the republic is looking for an office girl in mailand china, if you know anyone.
mircea_popescu: but, evaluation is evaluation. gotta get some concrete details out of teh applicant.
mircea_popescu: "yes im in china" is a very wasteful way to answer that question. try something like x neighbourhood y city, which is so and so and here's a pic i took last week on my blog.
mircea_popescu: s/college/so and so insdtitution doing so and so programme/
robbinhood: Senior in Dalian University of Technology, learning Computer Science
mircea_popescu: is this your last year ? or is it a 2nd undegraduate you're completing ?
robbinhood: no but I work as a freelance translator
mircea_popescu: ok, so - you finished highschool seven years ago. in this interval you did three years of college (current being fourth) and what else ?\
robbinhood: finished highschool when I was 20, then there was 1 year break of study
mircea_popescu: well... "break of study", what's that. were you in jail ? did you run off to europe ?
robbinhood: I was trying to learn computer programming
robbinhood: sorry, I didn't understand what you meant
mircea_popescu: you worded as a freelance translator online, on one of the "hire freelancers" websites, such as freelancer.com
robbinhood: I live in university dormitory with my classmates
mircea_popescu: alright. what would you say 和我一起，那是你的婊子掴你进监狱，并与所有的民族疯人院。is in english ?
☟︎ shinohai: Well, I see "Bitch" in there. This is why I don't translate Chinese.

robbinhood: With me, it is your bitch slap you in prison, and with all of the National Asylum
mircea_popescu: would you ideally prefer to work 20 hour weeks or 40 hour weeks ?
mircea_popescu: in the meanwhile -- it'd be a very good idea to make yourself a pgp key and register it with deedbot.
mircea_popescu: shinohai was there a noob primer for this i keep forgetting
shinohai: I've been meaning to do a totally new, 2018 trilema writeup of all that.
shinohai the trilema wiki got put on back burner, I forgot why.
shinohai: Oh that's right! I was working with trinque on that in clwiki .....
shinohai: Then forgot what happened. May have been hosting issue or something.
shinohai still has all the re-written #b-a wiki articles nonetheless ....

BingoBoingo: Any waterfalling continues to fail: "In a court filing, prosecutors noted that due to the volatility of the Bitcoin market, both coins risk losing value. Both the BTC and the BCH have already been transferred to government-controlled wallets. The new round of seized digital currency belonged to a Utah man named Aaron Shamo, whom prosecutors say led a multimillion-dollar ring of counterfeit pharmaceuticals, including oxycodone and
☟︎ BingoBoingo: alprazolam that were sold on Dark Web marketplaces. Shamo was arrested over a year ago -- his trial has not yet been scheduled. On Tuesday, US District Judge Dale Kimball allowed the sale to proceed. Once sold, the money would go to an account held at the Treasury Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture."

ben_vulpes: press release is delightfully vague too
ben_vulpes: apparently sending bitcoin is money laundering now
ben_vulpes: or she actually wired monies abroad, which is just as funny.
ben_vulpes: pff apparently *did* try sending us currency abroad. idiot.
ben_vulpes: it's really the only way they can make waves about folks doing this kind of deed. anyone with half a brain a) is not entrappable like this b) has the requisite half ounce of paranoia to foil the wallet inspectors at ft meade
ben_vulpes: This is where the special features of MobileCoin come in. The currency is designed to utilize an Intel processor component known as Software Guard Extensions, or a "secure enclave."
ben_vulpes: yes well secure enclave advocate now as well, hence "full bore retard"
ben_vulpes: doubtless attends the best parties at burning man too, but what man would eat from that hand, party with those tools
ben_vulpes: as i said recently to a friend, "heck yeah that sounds like just the thing the world has been missing until right this very moment! buy anything other than bitcoin, wouldja? keep malia free for another decade..."
